I could give you advice, but it would be worthless as I live in the High
Mojave Desert and deal with wind and heat and some flooding. Maybe something
like clover to grow fast and then some small trees or bush's to help hold
the soil. I grow ice plant ot here, but don't know if it would last your
winters.

I use to run a garden service and one thing ( costly too ) was to get rid of
ivy and I've seen the damage it can do.

Ok, the heck with that then.

Let me tell you about the area I have in mind. We live in Denver
and have a shed on a slope. ( The house was just built & we want
to prevent erosion ) In the back of the shed is the neighbors
garage with about 10 feet between them, a chain link fence and no
sprinklers or water there. It probably gets 5 hourd a day of
middle of the day sun, but is shaded by the shed & garage on each
end.

What can we plant there for ground cover, that will prevent
erosion, live strictly on rain and snow water and fill in that
area nicely to prevent erosion?

Ajuga?
